Have you ever had hiccups with or after chemotherapy?

I'm on my fifth round and the hiccups started at the 2nd and are honestly one of the most annoying side effects. They gave Thorazine )anti-psychotic) but I view the cure as worse than the illness in this case. I treat it by sleeping, drinking lukewarm water, and sucking on hard candies as that seems to help momentarily.

Thanks for response
I also found that a little something quieted them for a short time
Pills to lessen them really did nothing
Tried baking sofa, apple vinegar, sugar did nothing
Ice water helps a little.
Gaging and not getting your breath I found the worst but is less frequent now, nine months after last chemo
Reaching for the sky or shouting helps this gaging best for me but wife does not like it
Keep trying hoping for best at least I uasually get a weeks rest between bouts of hiccups which are continuous
